TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; l

Be it known that I, C. M. H.' WARREN, `ot` Brooklyn, in the countyofKngs, and State of New York, have invented a new and improvedSlidingPen-Holder, and that the following descriptionptaken 'inconnection with the accompanying drawings, hereinafter referred to,forms a full and enact specification of the same, wherein I have setforth the-nature and principles of my said improvements, by which myinvention may be distinguished from all others ot' a similar class,together with such parts as I claim, and desire to have secured to me byLetters Patent. l K

This invention relates to a new and improved penholder, of that class inwhich the pen is allowed to slide, sothat its point may be protected incase of the dropping of the pen and holder upon the door. i

The object of the invention is to obtain a verysimple, economical, andportable pen-holder, which will 4 answerI equally as wellA as thcexpensive telescopic holders now invcry general use. In the accompanyingsheet of drawings?- Figure 1 is a side view of my invention yin an openor distended state.

Figure 2, a-longitudinal central section of the same, taken in the line:e az, iig. 1.

Figure 3, a view of the same in a closed state.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. y

A represents the handle of the pen-holder, which may be of wood or othermaterial, and Bis a metal barrel, which is fitted on the handle, and ofsuilicient diameter internally to admit of therhandle being moved freelyinto and ont from it, the handle having a pin or collar, a,- upon it,which, when the handle is drawn out to its fullest extent, comes inContact with a collar, b, at the inner side of the rear end ofthebarrel, said pin or collar a, when the 'handle is shoved fully in thebarrel, coming in contact with a collar,` a*, in the barrelat its frontend` By this means the handle is prevented from being drawn fully outfrom 'the' barrel, so as to become detached from it,and also preventedfrom being shoved too far through it, ais will `be -fully understood byrefer- 'ring to tig. 2. On the barrel B `there is fitted aslidingnosing, C, in'which 'the pen Dis fitted. This nosing receives thepen E, and it is allowed toslide freely on the barrel, and has snlhcentspring or elasticity to grasp l,the barrel and press upon the sainetightly enough toprevent casual movement. The nosing is encompassed atits inner end by a band, c, and at the inner end of a barrel there isahead, d, which the band c of the nosing comes in contact with when thelatter is shoved fully inward, and prevents -the nosing being shoved odfrom the barrel, andthe nosing is prevented from being shoved off fromthe front end ofthe barrel in consequence of the band c coming incontact with a projection, e, on the-exterior of'the barrel.

. By this arrangement the nosing and pen may he shoved entirely over orupon the barrel, and thc'handle also shoved within the latter, makingthe device extremely short or portable, equally so as the comparativelyeirp'ensive extension-holders now in general use. This device may bemanufactured at a very moderate cost,

not'greatly exceeding that of the ordinary sliding pen-holder,

Having thus described my invention7 I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent-.-u y `A pen-holder, provided with a sliding handleand barrel B, and with a sliding nosing, C, all combined G. M. H.WARREN. i Witnesses:
